The sim does not recognize Xbox mouse

How can I get the sim to recognize the mouse controller using Xbox series x?

The Xbox, MSFS and the mouse are an ongoing conundrum.

I know there are a number of posts in this thread, but there are some workarounds posted here, that may or may not help you.

Losing mouse control on Xbox Series S/X

On the xbox series X when using keyboard and mouse along side Xbox Series X Controller then when flying you lose mouse control option after a couple minutes in the air. Only way to get your mouse movement back is restart the sim. Already filed a support ticket for it but wanted to post it here too

Ok, thanks

I always start the sim with just the controller. Once the sim loads to the main screen I plug in all my peripherals like the mouse and yoke. I always had mouse and yoke issues until I started doing it that way. Hope that helps.

I’ll second that. And I don’t even use the Xbox controller. All my hardware is connected via a USB hub with switchable ports which makes unplugging and replugging a lot easier.

When my mouse stops working, I unplug everything and then replug starting with the mouse first, making sure it works before plugging in the next item. This always fixes it.
